The Building rises 100 m from the Arsenal Museum and 500 m from Saint Mark's Square in the wealthiest and lively historical centre area of Venice, full of fashion local stores, art galleries and some of the most famous restaurants of the city. It was built in 1512 by the count Verner di Dolo, one of the most important merchants of the time, who chose this location thanks to its proximity to Saint Mark's Square and to the size of the Arsenal Canal, that permitted the comfortable docking of its ships. At the end of the year 2010, the building was object of a radical renewal on behalf of the internationally famous interior designer Gianni Pulari, who was able to renew the beauties of the past in a contemporary key. A finicking work based on two base concepts: to maintain some antique features like the original beams in sight or the Serenissima seals on the stairwell, memory of the time with the high design finish touches like the floors in valuable woods, the excellent pieces of furniture and the most modern comforts.
Tiepolo is equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, Wi-fi internet, dishwasher, microwave oven, etc.
Marvellous 60 sq.m apartment, totally furnished with design pieces of furniture, modern paintings, refined lighting, wide and luminous windows all overlooking a particular venetian court on one side.

The apartment is located on the mezzanine.
Capacity: 5 persons.

The Building is sited in the heart of Venice, 100 m from the Arsenal Museum, a museum where there is the history of the navy of the Serenissima. On foot and in only 5 minutes, you can reach Saint Mark’s Square and its famous Doge’s Palace, walking along Riva degli Schiavoni, that represents the most beautiful and fascinating walk in Venice among buildings of the XVII century on your right and the fascination of the Saint Mark's Basin on the left, particularly magic and romantic under the first lights of dusk. For the fashion lovers, close by there is Calle XXII Marzo, better known as the fashion street, where there are Gucci, D&G, Valentino stores, etc. In the nearby do not forget the various restaurants and bars where you can taste the typical venetian or international kitchen. The closest ferry stop is Arsenale, from where, without passing any bridge, you can reach the Building.

Reviews for this host's other properties

Located in an alley opposite the church of San Sebastian in Dorsoduro. Just 15 minutes walk from Piazzale Roma and 20 in San Marcos. It is a very quiet place within walking distance of the Fondamenta Zettere and two minutes from the San Basilio vaporetto station. Very close to Santa Margherita and about 20 or 25 min walk Rialto. The apartment is well, no frills but tastefully decorated. We were two adults with three children, praises adults in one room (sofa bed) and children in the other (double bed plus extra bed). The mattress of the sofa bed was below par, so we decided to take the mattress on the floor (pristine) and so slept perfectmente. Kitchen stocked with necessities and bathroom, but had to be careful because the toilet paper clogged the toilet bowl, relatively normal thing in Venice, by the way. Being in an alley and be a ground floor, no view and the light is low, but is offset by absolute silence and peace of mind. Anyway, we were in the apartment alone at night, to dine and sleep, so that neither the views nor the light we care. On the other hand, being in Dorsoduro (one sestiere which we love) and have a slight poendiente alley, you have to go much the aqua alta to penetrate the house. The value for money is good, unless one wants to be in the more touristy center (not our case) is a good site.

We really enjoyed Vinice and our stay in this appartment made our expereince even better. Modern Appartment with all amenities. Grocery store and all restraurants were within 2 minutes walk. Strongly recommend this appartment.

The apartment is considerably smaller than the photos expressed, but it was nice and clean with an excellent location in Venice. Is the top floor of the building, a struggle with several suitcases. The shower and the water pressure was lousy, heard that there was a problem in Venice. Should be small and short hair to shampoo the hair of the three jets of water. But - Venetian streets, bridges and charm was amazing!

We loved Venice, but sadly the accommodation let the holiday down a little, wasn't terrible, but for the money and the lovely photos didn't live up to our expectations. Was far to small and ants everywhere, probably won't book with Wimbu again, sorry.

The apartment is sober, good, clean. The pictures on the website (which is also what warning devices are not up-to-date) we expected a more spacious apartment and not facing a wall in a small alley. Therefore dark and no sun. The location itself is perfect as a base to navigate all sides of Venice; quiet and nice neighborhood again nice to stay between the Venetians. Kitchen can be better furnished: no utensils to join stir in pans no colander, no garlic press, no cheese grater, only one large pan ... that does not fit right in Italy. Moreover, the corkscrew and toaster was broken. All in all we found the price-quality ratio is not optimal ...

We had a great time in this apartment - it is very well located, close to the market and shops. After the three-storey walk, the apartment is big enough and functional. The master bedroom is large and a bedroom with two single beds. The last bed is on a mezzanine above the kitchen which is not ideal, but it has a nice view of Venice! Therefore recommend!

The apartment was beautifully decorated and with good facilities. Location was also as expected with a small courtyard at the back. Very good arrangements on arrival so we were accompanied to the apartment (addresses not much good in Venice unless you know where to go!) and told where the nearest supermarket was. Local restaurants and cafes have a really "local" ambience even though you are only 10 minutes walk from Rialto. Winter was fabulous-glorious blue skies every day-and plenty of bustle. New Year exciting in St Mark's Square- we wonder how we'll ever top this for 2014 !!! Heartily recommend !

The apartment was just as described and matched the pictures. It was close enough to all the tourist hot spots without having that crowded feeling. The famous fish market and Rialto bridge are all within a 5 minute walk. I would definitely book again with this host.
